Help needed with car transportation

Post by 106pete » Sat Mar 31, 2012 8:40 pm

I'm trying to by another lude from north Wales and I'm in Plymouth so 311 miles distance. The car has no tax or mot and as I'm potentially breaking it that seems a waste.

A car trailer cost £35 a day but I'm to young to tow it :-(

Plymouth airport is now shut so Exeter is the next best although that still means driving the car back!

A local transport guy will cost around £400. A lot of money but fair as half that wud be petrol but adds a lot of price to the car I could do without.

I've tryed Shiply, a transport auction site and got bids down to £240 but now I've used the actual postcode the interest seems to have dramitally dropped and now quoted £370, may get more bids on Monday but fingers crossed.

Also signed up to another delivery site but had nothing back, do they all shut down for the weekend?

Is there any other method I've not thought of or does anybody have contacts that can help?

Thanks pete
